Introduction

This 2ft 3in gauge line is closed. It initially connected mines east of Machrihanish to Campbeltown but was later extended to Machrihanish proper and opened to passengers. There was no connection to the rest of the British railway system.

When open this was the only passenger carrying narrow gauge line in Scotland. Passengers were often on a day trip from the central belt arriving in Campbeltown by steamer.

The railway did not have conventional stations or platforms, but locations where the train stopped. There was one signalled passing loop at Lintmill Crossing Loop.
